What is a document revision?

    A document revision is a numbered version of a controlled document. Revision control makes sure everyone works from the current approved version.

    Most projects use a revision scheme that separates drafts and reviews from versions issued for construction. Superseded revisions are kept for the record but marked so they aren't used by mistake.
